Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 2 Average rating: 4.5 "If you liked the VHS...you'll enjoy the DVD" Talk about going way back into the past. The original slayers with Lina and Naga bring back some horrid memories of high school when I was first introduced into this series. Unlike Slayers, this version is a little bit self centered around Lina and Naga rather than a long drawn story plot. The art is even darker and a little bit dry. However those used to Lisa Ortiz playing Lina will be in surprise of another actress...who sounds a LOT different, making Lina seem more young...and she tends to scream....a lot. Also the wonderful laugh of Naga the serphent...surely rivals upon your last nerve. Overall the story is based that the girls travel to an island to fight other sorcerers in search of defeating the number one strongest. there is also a slight reference to the sword of light in this movie. In the end, it has a gentle splash of comedy and story as you'll be more drawn to see how it works out rather what quirks Lina gets herself into. Should you enjoy this movie, I reccommend Slayers Great, Excellent, Return and Gorgeous. "Better than most movies" My son introduced me to anime not too long ago. Like most things, there's a lot of junk, but "Slayers, the Motion Picture" is defentely NOT junk! I was unaware that it was originally a TV series in Japan, but this movie can stand entirely on it's own: Heroines, villians, good writing and characterization, great animation, and finally, an evil foe with great power and no conscience whatsoever. I do have to agree with my son, though, that it's best to watch this movie with subtitles rather than dubbing. Dubbing cannot capture the same character qualities as the original- and often very witty- Japanese dialouges does.
